Final Shots: Comedy Central To Stream Nine New Original Series On Snapchat

Hopefully you’re currently using the social-media messaging app Snapchat in the most productive way possible: to send nonsensical pictures and videos to your friends for a quick laugh. That might not be the only thing you’re doing with the app going forward though. Comedy Central has announced the upcoming reveal of nine new series that will stream exclusively via Snapchat Discover, a tab of the app that most users most likely don’t even think to bother with for now. Among the new programs will be a comedic cooking show starring Caleb Synan as well as an animal fact series hosted by comedian Joe Zimmerman. The Viacom-owned television network has already been streaming four shows via the app, including Nikki Glaser’s mini-series Quickie With Nikki, which has also been renewed according to Variety.
